    The bars should be as wide as your shoulders.

    go to a bike shop where they have drop bars for sale and find one that is about as wide as your shoulders. thats the rule of thumb, but of course different people like different feels, for example i like drops that are kind of wide so i can get a lot of leverage when i sprint. but anyways rule of thumb is get some that are about the same width as your shoulders, and ask them if you can try a few different sizes and they might let you.
